Eagle Ridge Photography & Design finds its home at 5358 Darrow Ave NE in Buffalo, Minnesota—a little slice of perfection in the panoramic countryside of Wright County, about 45 minutes northwest of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Find us on a map right here.

We prioritize poses, angles, colors, and artistic details that are true-to-life expressions of your family’s unique spirit and charm. We deepen colors and contrast, but not to the extent your images feel stylized.

Your portrait session will include a mix of posed and playful prompts, like whispering, lifting, and snuggling. We’ll guide you through natural poses, with little tweaks along the way.

It’ll be so simple we're confident you’ll forget how apprehensive you were about having pictures taken.

We share our work in three primary locations.

1. Browse our seasonal look books, which we affectionately call "View from Home". They're our favorite way to give you a virtual tour of the Eagle Ridge acreage. Download one or more for free at www.eagleridgephotography.com/look-book.
2. View a wide selection of our favorite portraits on our Portfolio page. We've organized the images to show you the highlights of portraits through the seasons. (Want more context than the slideshow allows? Read our session recap blog posts here.)
3. See how we decorate our own home with beloved wall art, albums, and keepsakes when you arrive for your session. 

We going to go out on a limb and guess that you've been burned by a previous photographer.

If you have, then even as you're reading about the innumerable delights of choosing Eagle Ridge Photography & Design for your family's portraits, you're probably also remembering that other time when you thought you were about to get everything you wanted—you know, right before everything fell apart.

(Okay, maybe that's a bit extreme. Perhaps your other photographer ghosted you, or delivered images that left much to be desired, or took forever to respond to your messages.)

We offer a no-risk satisfaction guarantee because we are steadfast in our mission to delight your family. But what does that mean?

• It means if you don't love your portraits, we'll gift you a second session to try again. And if you don't love those either, we'll refund your session fee.
• It also means we'll personally cover the replacement cost of your wall art, albums, and keepsakes in the event of an accident. Did one of your kids (or, let's be honest, it could be you) spill water all over your album? Did a framed print get knocked off the wall and crack? Did someone sit on a mounted print in your Easel Collection because it was left on the couch hidden under a blanket? Yeah, we'll replace those for you.

Forget everything you think you know about working with a family photographer. We're full-service. We’ll hold your hand through every step of the portrait process, and by the time we reach the end of it you’ll have memories from our acreage that will outlive your session—and you'll have the art to show for it.

Our Eagle Ridge Experience is a delight for your whole family.

The Eagle Ridge Experience is right for your family if you value the incomparable joy of printed portraits, and you yearn to hold them in your hands, see them on your walls, and give them as gifts to your family.

Do any of these resonate with you?

• You welcome regular reminders of why you get up every morning.
• You appreciate ongoing feelings of trust, generosity, empathy, connection, and safety within your family.
• You enjoy watching your kids mature through new experiences.
• You crave margin in your days to simply reflect on what you love about each person in your family.
• You savor the wonder of memories—especially in light of how quickly the years pass.

We know you already know this, but it bears repeating: Portraits on your walls and in your hands fill all of those longings.

So set aside time for a mini session to relax into the portrait experience, delight in your family, and revel in the freedom of this land.

If your life needs more of all of this, then the Eagle Ridge Experience is right for you.

We hear this from so many of our families. And you know what? They end up being some of our favorite clients to work with.

Can we let you in on a secret? The first 20 minutes of your shoot are going to feel awkward. They feel like that for everybody. If you feel awkward, you’re normal. Let it go and enjoy each other’s company.

Throughout your session we'll be extremely clear, down to the tiniest details, about what you can do to look and feel natural. We won't let you mess this up.

Logistically, though?

It can be more than a simple "oops" and inconvenience when you find yourself without something you meant to bring but forgot (or didn't think you'd need).

We keep these things and more on hand so that not having something doesn't hinder your session: first aid kit, hair ties, bobby pins, comb & brush, lotion, bug spray, tissues, baby wipes, and simple snacks.

We'll teach you how to incorporate layers (including accessories), and encourage you to care for your skin and hair. We'll also walk you through what to bring and what to expect on the day of your session. And if you're longing for a fresh wardrobe, we can point you to a dozen boutiques in Buffalo and the surrounding cities.

You reveal is when we turn your dreams for a gallery into a tangible display that fits your home and your budget.

We'll lead you in refining ideas from your imagination to emphasize your favorite portraits. While we're together on Zoom, you’ll view your images for the first time and identify your favorites. You'll choose the digitals we promised and select the best portrait for your set of matching ornaments.

If you're determined to find a home for more of your portraits, we'll walk you through a variety of optional upgrades, all designed to furnish your home with reminders of what you love about your life.

If you opt for upgrades, by the end of the meeting you’ll officially decide which products to purchase and you’ll make your payment.

All decision makers should be present at the reveal. Products and images will be delivered when paid in full.

We do not deliver any raw files.

No. We spend time sifting through your whole collection so you can simply enjoy the best.

(We let a family be part of the culling process once, and it overwhelmed them within minutes. That's the opposite of helpful to you.)
